'invisible' tow bar fitting

JonnyA · Jul 11th, 2013, 15:31

Hi
thought I'd pitch this question into the towing section...

Is there a demountable tow bar that is pretty much not visible when the tow hook is not fitted?
As far as I can tell the Volvo one leaves a piece of iron work below the bumper... what I would prefer is to have as little on show as possible when not fitted , which will be most of the time.
the cars a 2008 (ph3) XC70 by the way
regards

Just pulling your leg, I am sure one is available for your model

You dont see any of the metalwork on the genuine volvo XC70 towbar , it is all mounted high up behind the crash member ( bumper in old terms ) after the hook is removed there is a plastic cover which you clip in which blends nicely into the rest of the bumper .

This shows the towbar fitted but when removed the flush panel is fitted in it's place ..
